Chapter 241: Crowning the World

"So fast." Liu Qiyue noticed that her husband had quickly shaken off the Blackrock Great Demon King, and they were already at the border of the Dragon Water Domain. The couple then rushed out of the Dragon Water Domain and stopped quickly.

"Qiyue, keep your distance. I'll engage that Great Demon King. Once the King Godfiends arrive, we can kill him," Meng Chuan transmitted, then immediately chased after the Blackrock Great Demon King."Okay," Liu Qiyue nodded, full of anticipation.

She was naturally thrilled to be alive. She also wanted to fight alongside her husband and watch their children grow up.

Watching Meng Chuan escape with his wife to five li away, the Blackrock Great Demon King's form flickered, returning to a normal human size, and simultaneously, it retracted its Dragon Water Domain."Go," the Blackrock Great Demon King immediately burrowed into the ground.

Even though Meng Chuan was still five li away, the moment the Blackrock Great Demon King burrowed, Meng Chuan flashed and arrived at the spot where the demon king had entered the ground. A distance of five li was covered in the blink of an eye. Meng Chuan's third eye, the 'Thunder God Eye,' also opened on his forehead. His Thunder Magnetic Domain immediately scanned the surroundings, extending half a li deep into the ground. Meng Chuan's Thunder Magnetic Domain clearly detected the Blackrock Great Demon King had only burrowed a little over thirty zhang deep.

"Found you," Meng Chuan said, his eyes glinting coldly. With his Dark Star True Yuan protecting his body, he also burrowed directly into the ground, pursuing the demon king.

"Meng Chuan has become a Marquis Godfiend. His speed is unmatched in the world. If he tracks me down, the human King Godfiends will also come, and I will be in mortal danger." The Blackrock Great Demon King was well aware of this, which was why it deliberately waited for Meng Chuan and his wife to get five li away before immediately retracting its domain and burrowing to escape.

"Underground detection faces numerous obstacles.""Soul domains, Dark Star domains, True Yuan domains... all detection methods are severely weakened. Even if I'm just ten zhang away from him, he won't be able to sense me," the Blackrock Great Demon King said, full of confidence.

The earth is the foundation of the world, supporting the growth of all things. Its profound density suppresses almost all domains. Even a small reduction in suppression is remarkable. King Baiyu cultivates a Reincarnation Godfiend Body, and the domain ultimate technique he created, "Nine Heavens and Ten Earths," contains the mysteries of heaven and earth themselves, which is why its underground detection is less weakened.

Meng Chuan's Thunder Magnetic Domain is a divine ability with a five-li range, but underground, it's suppressed to one-tenth of its range, allowing him to detect only half a li around him. This is already considered a small reduction in suppression, as the earth's suppression on 'thunder magnetic' energy is relatively minor.

"Hmm?"Although thunder magnetic fluctuations are invisible to the naked eye, a Fourth-Heaven Demon King can block all aura and distort light, so it could naturally detect the 'thunder magnetic' fluctuations. Thunder magnetic energy is very similar to light.

"A domain?" The Blackrock Great Demon King was startled. Intense thunder magnetic fluctuations swept over it, making it impossible to hide.

Meng Chuan flew underground. Although flying underground was hampered by the soil, it was much less restrictive than the 'Dragon Water Domain.' With his Dark Star Domain protecting him, Meng Chuan could maintain seventy percent of his speed, naturally allowing him to quickly catch up to the Blackrock Great Demon King.

"The Lightning Extinction Devil Body, even at the Great Sun Realm, has speed comparable to King Godfiends.""As a Marquis Godfiend, its speed is said to be unmatched in the world. But I estimate it's comparable to Creation Sovereigns." Meng Chuan wasn't sure about the speed of Creation Sovereigns; it was just a guess. Information about Creation Sovereigns was secret, and what he currently knew was just the tip of the iceberg.

According to records, when the Lightning Extinction Devil Body first becomes a Marquis Godfiend, its normal flash speed is ten li! But Meng Chuan was different.

This might be due to his Godfiend body being reshaped by nine heavenly lightning bolts. It could also be that his physical body is too strong, allowing his meridians to withstand more True Yuan bursts, leading to greater speed. Or it might be that the Thunder Magnetic Domain within every particle space of his physical body has been strengthened.

In any case, Meng Chuan can cover fifteen li in a single flash! This speed is incredibly terrifying. The average speed of King Godfiends is about two li per flash. Three li per flash is considered quite fast among King Godfiends. Four li? That's top-tier.

"My biggest advantage is my speed; I'm far inferior in other aspects." Meng Chuan was very clear-headed, having understood this when he chose his cultivation path. "When dealing with any enemy, you must use your strengths to attack their weaknesses! For example, this mountain demon Great Demon King is indestructible and impervious to attack. I can't do anything to it. However, I can stick to it, and it won't be able to shake me off. Once the King Godfiends arrive, it's dead for sure."

As he pursued, Meng Chuan again requested assistance through his identity token, also to let the King Godfiends know his exact location. After all, he was in pursuit, and his position was constantly changing.

"Boom." Suddenly, a large hammer burst out from the mud, smashing towards him. Meng Chuan's Thunder God Eye on his forehead was continuously open, and his Thunder Magnetic Domain had naturally detected the opponent's move early on. He easily dodged it with a flash, the surrounding mud posing as little obstruction to Meng Chuan as air does to mortals.

"You actually specialize in domains too, and can track me underground," the Blackrock Great Demon King said, madness in its eyes. "In that case, it's either your death or mine."

Meng Chuan moved with a ghostly agility, maintaining a ten-zhang distance from the Blackrock Great Demon King, no matter how the demon king attacked.

"Are you just going to hide? Don't you dare even exchange a blow with me?" the Blackrock Great Demon King roared. Suddenly, without warning, it opened its mouth and spat out a golden flame that incinerated the mud and rocks. It did indeed possess this flame divine ability, which was why it dared to devour phoenix flames.

Meng Chuan, however, was unconcerned. His Dark Star Domain naturally repelled the golden flame, causing it to slow down as it flew. This flame had an extremely high temperature and was skilled at incinerating various external objects. However, the spatial repulsion of the Dark Star Domain could not be incinerated, so the flame was naturally blocked and couldn't get close.

Previously, when it had deployed the Dragon Water Domain, water permeated everywhere. If this flame divine ability were used then, the water domain would have had to make way... otherwise, water and fire colliding would only diminish each other's power.

"Close-quarters combat is still useful against demon kings," Meng Chuan said calmly. "Your flame technique, however, is a joke to us human Marquis Godfiends."

"I'm willing to destroy my demon core and give you all the domain treasures I just used," the Blackrock Great Demon King suddenly stopped and transmitted. "As long as you let me go.""You will die today. No one can save you," Meng Chuan replied.

"Then before I die, I'll go destroy human cities. Thirty li from here is a county town. I'll kill all the mortals there," the Blackrock Great Demon King said. "One hundred thirty li from here is Dongning Prefecture City... I'll kill my way through.""I told you, you will die today," Meng Chuan said. "And you won't be able to reach that county town either."

"Damn it."The Blackrock Great Demon King roared and soared upwards, swiftly breaking through dozens of zhang of earth to reach the surface. Its body flickered, returning to its true form as a hundred-zhang-tall, towering mountain demon. It strode forward with its two pillar-like legs, charging towards the nearest county town in the distance.

The ground trembled as it ran. Some mortals in the wilderness, seeing the mountain-like giant sprinting in the distance, were stunned speechless.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh." As the Blackrock Great Demon King ran, currents of water constantly condensed within five li of it, strangling any scattered mortals it found. This made Meng Chuan's expression grow even colder. This Great Demon King could not be allowed to escape!

"Why haven't the King Godfiends arrived yet?" Meng Chuan again requested assistance through his identity token. "If this Great Demon King reaches the county town, everyone there will die. I must hinder it as much as possible."Meng Chuan suddenly transformed into a phantom, directly approaching the Blackrock Great Demon King.

"Hmm?"Seeing this, the Blackrock Great Demon King was overjoyed. Two large hammers materialized in its hands, and it immediately swung them at Meng Chuan. "Poof!" Meng Chuan's figure dissipated like a bubble."A fake?" The Blackrock Great Demon King's eyes were filled with solemnity.

One after another, Meng Chuan's figures appeared around it. No matter how the Blackrock Great Demon King swung its hammers, whose power could destroy heaven and earth, it couldn't touch Meng Chuan's true body in the slightest.

"Rip." A tiger-roaring blade strike cut across the Blackrock Great Demon King's body, carving out a fissure about a zhang long, but only half a zhang deep. The rock fissure then immediately healed."As a Marquis Godfiend, I possess top-tier Marquis Godfiend strength. With a Godfiend forbidden art and a burst of soul power... I can instantly unleash peak Marquis strength," Meng Chuan mused. "But my blade techniques are merely tickling it?"

Rip! Thud! Boom!Fissures and large pits appeared on the Blackrock Great Demon King's body, leaving visible marks. Their power was clearly much stronger than Liu Qiyue's arrows, but the Blackrock Great Demon King paid them no mind, its massive, towering body naturally repairing itself.

"I can't even touch him!" The Blackrock Great Demon King was also in pain. Meng Chuan's movement technique was too agile and ghostly.

At this moment, a black streak of light approached from a distance – it was King Lü Yue, rushing at full speed."I've arrived! Meng Chuan and his wife are right ahead," King Lü Yue saw the towering mountain demon Great Demon King from afar and felt a wave of relief, as his patrol token indicated that neither Meng Chuan nor Liu Qiyue had died yet. "I'm not late!"
